Oh it won't be all bad. The movie will be wonderfully done.
But it will be a comedy-horror, like Beetlejuice, also by Burton.
For the full story and apparantly a very early review go to

Some things just can never be equaled, I guess....
Oberon
1. "Early test screening" Meaning there will be many changes between
now and opening day.
2. "Things get shaken up for the family when Barnabas, freshly dug up
from his tomb by an ill-fated construction crew." Hmmm......no
Willlie Loomis?
3. The reviewer has to be in his 20s if he never heard of Dark
Shadows. I find that discouraging. You'd think AintitCool would
find someone old enough to have seen the show in one of it's runs.
4. Note to the reviewer: Rent the original from Netflix.
Oberon: You could be right. A month or more back, someone posted
Helena Bonham Carter indicating pretty much the same thing as
aintitcool...
I also recall that a year, or more ago, Burton indicated that he was
going to change a few things around, so yeah, maybe Roger and Liz are
married, but that would make her a Collins by marriage, which I don't
see. Probably you're right on that one.
Aintitcool is / was tepid towards the many years of DS fandom. I
remember a few time where I posted things to stir up recent events
like when Dan Curtis died, or when the 3rd possible season had a
pilot. I got nothing from them. DS of long ago is to un-aintitcool
for them.
